Cancer Risk Due to CT is Not Fully Appreciated
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, Canada) conducted a survey among 328 medical professionals in Saskatchewan province to assess healthcare providers' knowledge regarding radiation dosing from CT scans. To do so, they queried them regarding the average radiation dose from an abdominal-pelvic CT, which is 10 millisieverts (mSv), compared to 0.02-0.2 mSv from one chest x-ray, which indicates that the radiation dose from an abdominal-pelvic CT scan is between 100-250 times that of a chest radiograph.

Novel Fluorescent Agent Helps Guide Removal of Ovarian Cancer Tumors
The results of a trial, published in the June 2016 issue of the journal Clinical Cancer Research indicate that a new tumor-specific fluorescent agent, together with an imaging system, can enable surgeons to remove 29% more malignant lesions than currently possible. More...21 Jun 2016
Research Suggests A Better Approach to Breast Cancer Screening
Researchers are unhappy with current models for determining mammography screening risk/benefit ratios, and suggest that the measurement of Quality-Adjusted Life-Years (QALYs) gained, when breast cancer is prevented, could be more accurate. More...
